My wife had the lasagne for her entree, I had seafood. My wife said her lasagne was different from the last place she had it a couple days earlier in Bologna, but no less spectacular. I agreed, and my seafood was nothing less. The ambiance on a quiet side street (maybe in the Jewish quarter) was a great way to enjoy a Bolognese night.

My penne all'arriabbiata was al dente, and the sauce was delicious and actually did pack a bit of heat. My husband's pizza hit the spot, and the dough and tomato sauce is spot on!

When we arrived we were told to sit just outside. Fine but I was thinking I wanted to sit inside. Whatever. Next we were given menus then the waiter left to stand in the corner. I figured it out, lol this place runs old school but looks modern. Okay so we call the waiter over... mi scusi parli inglese ho una domanda sul menu? He says No, None. I thought well he said that fine, okay whatever I'll do my best. I just wanted to know more about the appetizers because I am allergic to shellfish.. no worries order without it. Let me put it this way your going to get fed good food so if the staff doesn't want to converse with you because their dialect is different than yours just point, order and nod, eat and enjoy. Pay and leave and consider job well done! I was able to visit inside when we finished, because the waiter disappeared and we needed to pay, it looked nice and was a better temperature wondered if they assumed we wanted to dine al fresco ;) left full and happy.

We sat in the front bar area at a cozy little table. Our waiter greeted us and brought water as soon as we sat down. He explained some of the dishes too. The waiter was also a bartender and made an amazing espresso martini using Fabrizi syrups. The syrups added a lot of flavor. An ext dove wine list is also available of course. The Lambrusco was very good too. Our waiter recommended the tortellini in forma. It was made table side in a parmigiana wheel. The cheese was creamy and very good. We added white truffles which added a nice contrasting note. It was fun to watch it being prepared! The lasagna verde was good but could have used some more sauce. It was a little dry. . The Stringozzi guanciale E pistachio was good with al dente pasta. The guanciale added a little saltiness with the crunch of the pistachios. The pork loin was good but basic.
